Pinot Noir used to be my go to wine when I was actually able to drink red wine, but I'm glad to see that if I ever did go to the Napa Valley there are plenty of nice looking whites on offer cos that's all I can drink nowadays! Lovely work as always mr Ben!

    I appreciate that. Yeah Sonoma is definitely worth a visit. Napa is good but, it's so over populated nowadays. And the prices have skyrocketed. Napa is something you need to plan out more. Sonoma in a lot of ways you can just go up there on a whim and get into most places easy.

    I personally haven't been but my Dad has been. He's honestly been to many of the wineries around the area. He did say that Jacuzzi was good. Although he's preferable to Viansa. Also if you have time heading up north towards Headlesburg or South towards Livermore or Lodi you'll find amazing wine without the crowds of Napa and Somoma

    This is on my list of future wine areas to visit. I love wine and food pairings - helps bring out the flavours of the wine and can even change it. I'm a red fan but also enjoy chardonnay. Sonoma Town looked very picturesque.

    I would say 5. If it's just the weekend you can enjoy Sonoma itself. But, there is so much more to the area. You can go North all the way through Santa Rosa and Mendicino. Of course over the hills is Napa of course.
